Thanks Barry!

My time is running out & the older I get the less sharp I'm with racing.

I used to think in my younger days; I was better than most on my worst days, than my opponents on their best days. I never considered myself a hitter, but I had a way of winning rounds & even races I shouldn't have won.

Somewhere in the last few years I find myself struggling & making more mistakes; like forgetting to put in the expansion plug in the water/methanol tank. It totally changed the cars 60' & the leave/reaction/mph. Then I start doubting myself & chasing my tail.

I'm still enjoying myself & still think I'm somewhat competitive. I'm going thru some changes in my later years & just have to find a way of dealing with it better.

2BKING sharing the real truth! Wink

I received my Spring Fling Million 1K check in the mail today. Too bad it was short 449K! Frown

I thought the memo was funny, "Round 4 R/U". I guess for a 2K Million entry fee, "Round 4 R/U" isn't that bad. Wink

Winning 3rd rd in any large money race is a true accomplishment imho. Many don’t make it that far. Yes, Fling is very prompt on sending payments. Congrats!!

Thanks, guys, for the kind words or emoji!

Here's the 3rd round slip & an example of the reason I always hold.

Looking forward to doing some 6.0 Index racing on a .500 Pro Tree. The rules stipulate no throttle stops or delay boxes, air/electric shifters permitted. I'm looking forward to this type racing & wish there was more of this out West.

The plan is to race at 2 Northern NV. tracks I've never been to. Going to hit Top Gun Raceway, Fallon NV. for Fri. T&T/Gambler race & spend the night.

Sat. morning drive to Good Times Dragstrip, Winnemucca NV. about a 2-hour drive to race the 6.0 Index & spend the night.

Sun. morning drive back to Top Gun for some NHRA bracket racing.

Should be a good time, but busy!

If my memory serves me correctly, my NA combo the best light I could get was about a .460 light. I haven't tried it with my ProCharged combo.

double trouble
What's the verdict, Brian?
I have the Falcon in the body shop for some rust repair and a general spiffy up but no paint job. I'll have to win the lottery first. Hmmm, better buy some tickets.....


I'm not in a bad mood, I just look that way.........

No verdict yet, I forgot to post the dates; the races are May 16-18.

Having to re-think racing in Northern NV this coming weekend, rain is forecasted for Sat. & Sun. Famoso is running the West Coast Classic this weekend & the weather forecast is good.

Anyway, looks like I'm leaning towards racing in CA this coming weekend. The payouts are better (3) 5k races for Pro & a shorter travel distance/time.

I'll wait till Wed. to pick my poison! Wink
